Burnt Out? A Guide to Using Adaptogens to Combat Stress and Improve Your Sleep

This episode is brought to you by BetterWild. Feeling good isn’t just about avoiding illness; it’s about steady energy, clear focus, better sleep, and lower daily stress. In this episode, the conversation explores simple, practical tools, like adaptogens and smarter caffeine use, that can meaningfully improve how we feel day to day. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Tero Isokauppila. He breaks down the power of adaptogens, how they can meaningfully support health, and simple ways to start integrating them into your routine. Tero also shares his top two sleep supplements, explains how to stack adaptogens for maximum benefit, and discusses why rethinking your beliefs about sleep and cycling coffee can make a big difference. Tero Isokauppila is an expert in nutrition, health, and wellness, and the founder of Four Sigmatic, a functional foods company. He is the author of two bestselling books: Healing Mushrooms, an educational cookbook, and Santa Sold Shrooms, a children’s book for adults about the magical origins of Santa Claus, as well as Healing Adaptogens: The Definitive Guide to Using Super Herbs and Mushrooms for Your Body’s Restoration, Defense, and Performance.
